Approaches that guide online counselling and support
Deborah draws on person-centred work which focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps people feel heard and supports exploring what matters most to them.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help identify recurring patterns and how past experiences shape current feelings. That can be useful for worries around attachment, abandonment and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Deborah aims to collaborate with each person to choose what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy with Deborah can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit those who prefer audio only or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer short check-ins, written reflection and flexibility for people who need to fit support around work or family commitments.
